PROG REVIEWER

This band is listed as Experimental/Post Metal, but this album in my view is pretty pure and mostly harmonic guitar oriented instrumental post rock with straight rhythms going through it. The only metalish thing about it are the distorted guitars, but mainstream post rock bands such as Mogwai give this to you as well. They do create some glorious noise at times, but once more, they're not alone at that in the post rock camp. The album is very competently done, and wonderful to listen to if you like this style. There are more intense moments and crescendos, as well as more relaxed and slow parts that are more atmospheric. As I do like post rock, I find this a pleasure to listen to, and I recommend this album, however I can't really give it 4 stars as the innovation factor is missing. This kind of stuff has been done often enough before. Still, if you love post rock, I recommend it warmly. 3.3 stars.
